RIP to young Odhrán Mc Girr who sadly passed away today. Led Tyrone out onto the field to play Offaly just 3 short weeks ago. Condolences to his family.

Replying To Galwayman67420:  "Always the way with the county, arrangements are always made to suit the north board. No consideration for the city/west at all. They'll put a toll on the quincentennial bridge yet."
Agreed, even for a young lad from say Clifden that makes a panel, training in the likes Glenamaddy (which seems to be head of operations these days) places an awful strain on parents and players.

Really needs to be looked at in my opinion.

Replying To StockholmGael:  "We got opened like a tin of beans in the Hyde last week. The likes of Kerry who have the boys to kick fast ball into the forward line must be licking their lips at that exposure. Not sure if that's something that's fixable by the business end of the championship. Now, we can blame injuries, the weather or the old 'maybe the trained hard before the game' that often gets rolled out after a loss, but if that doesn't get rectified, we won't be bringing Sam through Pettigo this year either."
The League form, wherther it's 6 points after 3 matches or a loss in Hyde Park has no bearing in the Championship.
Jim used the League to add a few players to the panel and try a few players in different positions.

Wexford Hurling Thread - 2 Like(s)

Replying To fathermurphy:  "Wasn't much to talk about yesterday, kildare stood back, got a taste and looked at us, 4 weeks time on a tight pitch in Newbridge we won't know what hit us with the intensity, this game will destine our championship, im really worried over yesterday's match, Wexford will be hot favourites now, Kildares aim is to stay up and are going to target wexford and offaly, Kildares Dublin game will come too soon after the wexford game .Kildare strongly believe they still can beat us, watch out Wexford"
So much positivity....

A 21-point beating will do wonders for Kildare's confidence

Brilliant to see John daly back in the match day squad. Best number 6 and passer of the ball in the country. I expect the inside forwards to have a field day if he gets playing.

Replying To Dheen:  "Some win for St Mary's 2nd year's over CBS Kilkenny in the Leinster A quarter final. 2-24-0-13, that's a big win. They face Good Counsel in the semi final next."
Excellent coaching setup in the CBS by the looks of the results the are consistently getting

How Do We Take Hurling On From Here - 1 Like(s)

Replying To legendzxix:  "The obvious point is teams of a reasonable level are being excluded from Tier 2. You're not expecting the Munster 5 to be unnecessarily relegated. If you can join the dots and extend the same logic to the Joe Mac, you'll be commenting more fairly on Tier 2.

Randomly the Leitrim Senior Football Championship has the format the Joe Mac could adopt!:
• 8 teams in 1 group.
• Swiss model type format of playing 1 team from 4 seeded brackets.
• 2 home games and 2 away games during the regular group phase.
• 3rd & 4th at home to 5th & 6th in quarter finals.
• 1st & 2nd at home to QF winners in semi finals.
- 7th & 8th into relegation final.

Laois had a motion passed that 2nd v 3rd will contest a semi final from next year. That'll mean 5 group rounds and 2 knockout rounds totalling 7 rounds. The now-called "Leitrim format" requires 4 group rounds and 3 knockout rounds also totalling 7 rounds.
From someone who attends lower tier hurling - a format that brings more knockout back into tier 2 championship should be welcomed. There should be initiatives around home knockout rounds to boost crowds for a more vibrant tier 2 championship."
Look you can fill your days with fantasy hurling competitions and formats if you so wish. Thats your perogative and right. It wont change anything. Most are happy with the current structures and format. Its not perfect but its fair and merit based. You work your way up or down the pyramid depending on performance. Kerry have that opportunity this season. If they are up for it they will win the Christy. If they are not they wont. Tjats how it should be.

Replying To supersub15:  "Good and honest post.
I think the forum has seen better days, the real gaa posters are apparently doing other things, good luck with that.

I see Carlow will qualify for promotion by the narrowest of margins so I'll predict a draw result between themselves and leitrim.
As I predicted at the start I think Wicklow too will go up as well."
Best of luck today. We could be seeing a lot of each other in future weeks

Well done to the senior hurlers on promotion. Back in division 2 where we should be. Will be some nice games there next year and aim will be to stay there. Onto the CR now. Hard luck to the minor hurlers, 7 points up against Antrim in the first half is no easy feat. We just let the head down after the red card. Some nice forwards there, just need more of them!

I don't care who likes who. None of my business. Just like those on the left that cheered Charlie Kirk's death. There's all types out there.

Wasn't at Fenagh and Aughawillian but heard there was a melee and Ciaran Gilheaney got a straight red? Must have been a awful brawl because Mulhern wouldn't be Ref that would issue cards that handy

If we are winning games at a canter, then we'd be peaking too early and what are we doing that for.i guess there is no winning is there.

kerry didn't beat us last year with a kicking game they best us way a running game.the kerry analysts put out the notion they are the gods of beautiful football via the media but at end of day they do whatever it takes to win. Watch the game back and see how many times they kick ball into full forward line. It will surprise you.

Replying To SaffronDon:  "Perhaps you could explain what was ignored, I prioritised your point at the start of my reply. You chose one isolated incident, an incident that is also being reported as a punishment for crimes that merit the same death penalty in America, by the way.

Nobody said it was angel vs devil, but America and Israel attacked Iran during negotiations, multiple times. So stop pretending you dont see the oil/empire greedy elephant in the room please."
I'm more anti Israel than you so I'm not happy at all with Trump right now as far as that topic goes. Trump attacked the Bush's and Cheneys years ago about all the ENDLESS WARS and I was fully behind him on that so I'm very disappointed that negotiations didn't continue like he did with North Korea in the past.

Replying To Zucker:  "Was in aughawillan for the Fenagh game. Fenagh just about scraped a win but it was a dreadful game. Looks like the fena conveyer belt of talent is drying up"
It would hardly be anything to do with them having 7 regular starters on county duty….
It was certainly a low-scoring affair.
